It was announced by Pat Kirwan during the September 2, 2013 broadcast of "Movin' the Chains" on SiriusXM radio that Ryan had accepted an enhanced opportunity with FOX Sports and would not be returning to "Movin' the Chains". His hosting duties in that show were partially assumed by co-host Jimmy Miller, former NFL quarterback and current regular contributor to several Sirius NFL Talk radio broadcasts.

In January 2014 it was announced that Ryan was leaving FOX Sports to replace Eric Davis as color analyst for the San Francisco 49ers radio network. Ryan will team with play-by-play announcer Ted Robinson on the broadcasts.
